Mortality as a Function of Survival
Everyone has a chronological age. Because survivorship declines relentlessly in populations with age-specific death rates greater than zero, everyone also has a survivorship age (“s-age”), the age at which a proportion s of the population is still alive. S-ages can be estimated for both periods and cohorts. While trajectories of mortality over chronological ages differ (e.g., across populations, over time, by sex, or by any subpopulation), mortal…
Born once, die once
Everyone dies, and only once. This basic truth underlies all formal mortality research. Similarly, everyone is born, and only once. This basic truth has not been fully exploited to beneï¬ t formal fertility research. An advance has recently been made by Ba
Progression of the smoking epidemic in high-income regions and its effects on male-female survival differences
Background Of all lifestyle behaviours, smoking caused the most deaths in the last century. Because of the time lag between the act of smoking and dying from smoking, and because males generally take up smoking before females do, male and female smoking epidemiology often follows a typical double wave pattern dubbed the ‘smoking epidemic’. How are male and female deaths from this epidemic differentially progressing in high-income regions on a coh…
Latin American convergence and divergence towards the mortality profiles of developed countries
It is uncertain whether Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) countries are approaching a single mortality regime. Over the last three decades, LAC has experienced major public health interventions and the highest number of homicides in the world. However, these interventions and homicide rates are not evenly shared across countries. This study documents trends in life expectancy and lifespan variability for 20 LAC countries, 2000-14. By extending a …
The threshold age of the lifetable entropy
Indicators of relative variation of lifespans are markers of inequality at the population level and of uncertainty at the time of death at the individual level. In particular, the lifetable entropy H represents the elasticity of life expectancy to a change
Las luchas desiguales
El presente trabajo analiza el surgimiento de una organización en resistencia en contra de una empresa transnacional que pretendía imponer una presa hidroeléctrica. Las tensas relaciones que se generaron en el interior de la comunidad con los grupos de poder, entre ellos las facciones y los liderazgos emergentes, así como con algunos de los habitantes, son los puntos principales de este análisis. Destacar la importancia de este tipo de estudios e…
